Did you restriction the aspect ratio to 16:9? 1440x900 is 16:10.

Eh?
My LCD is marked as 16:9 and 1440x900 is native resolution.
Maybe this will be problem with my xorg.conf setup?
1440x900 is 16:10, not 16:9.
(1440 / 810) = (16 / 9) = 1.77
(1440 / 900) = (16 / 10) = 1.6

TV outputs and standards are quite simple, but apparently some
explanation might be in order. Since we're already off topic, I'll just
try to summarize some facts regarding things mentioned in the thread.
To start, when talking about baseband video outputs, a TV standard (PAL,
NTSC, etc.) defines

Hi
Making a cable up is straight forward the only problem is the soldering
is fiddly - you need a very small soldering iron. You should probably
also get a multimeter to test your soldering before using the lead in
case you fry your telly or graphics card.

Hey guys,
I think I know what J.C. Roberts is looking for, but alas it is hard to find.
I also purchased one of these vga - svideo cables, and it truly is just
